The Comet assay (single cell gel electrophoresis) is a sensitive technique for the detection of single- and double-strand breaks and alkaline-labile sites in nuclear DNA of individual cells. The Comet assay has the added advantage of detecting apoptotic/necrotic cells, which can be clearly distinguished from viable cells exhibiting DNA strand breaks.
Our targets through this blog are,
1.
Integrating the knowledge of comet assay.
2. Documentation of ongoing research work based on comet assay conducted by us.
3. Sharing the knowledge & experience gained through our research.
4. Convenient easy access to information on the procedure and the results.
5. Free accessibility to information comparative to other sources.
6. To enhance awareness & talent on subject & the updation of new development of assay.
